Michigan Next.

The Legislature of Michigan has
voted to submit a Prohibition
Amendment to the State constitu-
ton to a vote of the people. The
Amendment passed the lower house
by good majority over the requi-
site two-thirds. But in the Sen.
ate it turned on the vote of one
man, the Hon. Jay A. Hubbell. A
week before the vote was taken,
he informed the friends of the
measure that they must delay &C.
ton. to give him time to consider.
On the 2Sth of January the vote
was taken and Mr.. Hubbell voted
aye, making the vote stand TWEEN.
ty-two to ten. So, not in West
Virginia alone, has the Senate
been wrestling with Prohibition,
with hopes Ringing on a narrow
margin. God grant that the issue
may be as in Michigan.
The people of Michigan will vote
on the Amendment at the spring
election, April 4th. Prohibition
lists are very hopeful and the liq-
our men are scared. The State
will come into the Prohibition COL
umn.

The Latest.

Although we are late going to
press, we cannot give our readers
information as to the fate of the
Amendment. 1t came up on
Tuesday afternoon, and after
further attempts to amend, was Or
d cred to its third reading. 1t was
thought that it would come up for
final vote to-day; but late this,
Wednesday evening, we have heard
nothing. The final vote will
probably be taken tomorrow. Our
friends are still hopeful, but the
opposition are claiming it will be
defeated. Let US hope for the
best.
The freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1886-18??, 1887-02-02
Municipal Politics.

Wheeling has just closed a mu-
nicipal fight in which each of the
old political parties charged the
other with using Cheer and boo.
die" in conducting the campaign,
and for a wonder each tells the
truth on the other.
Pictures of candidates on the
backs of gambling cards, were in
dustriously circulated through the
city, indicating to habitues of
these criminal dens the future at
titude of the candidate on that
question. An indignant "White
Ribboner" writes,
"It is scandal upon public
deoency," referring to the methods
of the Republican and Democratic
parties. The Register and Intelli-
gencer editorially confirm her
statement.
A CITIZENS MOVEMENT
was started, but abandoned for
causes unknown to us. Mr.. J. M.
Clouston was put in nomination
for the Mayoralty by the Prohibi-
ton party. Mr.. Clouston is an
honorable and straightforward
business man, an earnest, devoted
ii Christian, having the courage to
follow his convictions. Certainly
the three Womans' Christian Tenn
perance Unions of Wheeling could
be in no doubt or difficulty to
which ticket they should ''lend
their influence" There is one point
to which we wish to call especial
attention. The municipal cleo
ton which most directly affects
the home and most remotely at.
feots the political parties, is one
in which every woman, whether
she wears the white ribbon or not,
should interest herself and use her
influence in behalf Of public de-
cenoy and good order. 1t is a NO.
torious fact that the municipal
governments of our larger cities
are run in the interest of crime
and corruption. Men are put in

The Saloon Must Go!

We are frequently charged with
having more ardent wish to build
up a Third Party than we are to
have Prohibition. We confess to
a great hankering for strong and
vigorous political party that will
declare eternal war on the liquor
traffic, and we want to see such a
party in power, and then we shall
have not only Prohibition, but a
Prohibition that aOiU prohibit.
But we yield to none in our earn
est desire to have the Amendment
submitted, and then to enlist in an
earnest and vigorous campaign
with all friends of Prohibition
without regard to party, to secure
the ratification of that Amend
ment at the polls.
The freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1886-18??, 1887-02-02

nomination who can carry the
"rabble vote" officers are appoint
ed by Councils 80 elected, who
openly connive at violation Of law.
Houses of prostitution and saloons
carry on their shameless traffic un-
der the noses of these officials, who
are frequently their patrons. One
year ago the Wheeling Intelligent
Ger charged that these Infamous re-
sorts were carried on in Wheeling
regardless of legal restrictions,
with the knowledge and tacit con-
sent of the City Council, and cour-
ageously charged that by SO much
they were "particepS crsmimis" to
these violations, laying the re-
sponsibility where it justly be-
longed, on the voters who elected
said Council.
When one remembers the
stencil that came up into the pub
lie nostrils from these leading
journals one year ago, making
and refuting scandalous charges
against the Mayor and city Ser
geant while in Pittsburgh
bagnio, each admitting enough to
warrant the removal from Office of
both officials-and then sees the
name of the same officer on the
Democratic ticket for the same Of
fee, one cannot help shifting ner-
vously for smell of birthstone in
the air.
In Parkersburg the same state of
affairs exists, with the difference
that no openly immoral man dares
to head a ticket. Saloons 60 on
in known violation of law;
houses Of prostitution ply their ne
farious trade under the very eyes
of the city Council and police
force; gambling resorts are known
to exist, patronized by men who
are called prominent citizens. A
notorious den called the London
Theater, where the denominations
of all vileness are carried on, is
known to exist without molesta-
ton. Already two shooting af-
trays have occurred in this resort.
1t is patronized by heads OF fami-
lies, by sons out of Christian homes,
and alas! by women.
This state of affairs exists in
Parkersburg with its dozen church
es, hundreds of church members,
and other organizations looking to
the uplift Of humanity.
Who is responsible for these
things? Certainly the mothers of
this city are interested, and if the
maintenance of party lines is SO in
dispensable in city government
that public decency and private
and public morals are to be sacri-
feed for their maintenance, the
womanhood and motherhood of the
city should assert themselves in
the interest Of social, if not politi-
cal purity.
The freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1886-18??, 1887-02-02

The unanimity with which the
Press all over the State are speak
ing out in favor of Submission is
significant. These papers do but
voice the overwhelming senti-
ment of the people. That senti-
ment found expression, too, in the
overwhelming vote with which the
Amendment passed the House of
Delegates.

Mt. Gilead Adopts Prohibition

Mt. G1LEAD, O., Jan. 22.-At an
election held to-day, the citizens OF
Mt. Gilead decided in favor of the
Prohibition clause of the Dow law
by majority of eighty-one. One
hundred and eighty-four for and

floor and galleries, many of the
members of both Houses and many
State officers and visitors being
| present.
The choice of subject,
PUBLIC OPINION AND PROHIBITION,
was most happy for the occasion,
and the occasion with all the sur
roundings were most happy for
the speaker, and right grandly did
he improve the occasion and bring
to bear with eloquent force all the
inspiration of the occasion and sur
roundings.
His terrible pictures of ruined
homes, his logical presentation of
the remedy and eloquent appeals
to the lawmakers present to apply
it, were pleas to the heart and con-
science that could not but move
the one to tears and stir the other
to action.
AS the Amendment was to be
voted on in the Senate ON the NOR
row, the earnest women present
were praying that every Senator
might be hearing the thrilling
appeals for the protection of the
Home against the grogshops.
1t was a grand address and a
grand meeting and the good seed
here sown will be carried through
out the State and bring forth fruit
abundantly.
Sunday night Mr.. Vibbert held
another meeting at the West End
Church, making four lectures and
sermons for the day, and on Mon
day morning he left tor Stanton
Va. His visit to Charleston was
most opportune, and the friends
of the cause are delighted with the
good work done.
Rev. Mr.. Belts who led in the
memorable Charleston siege last
spring arrived in the city Satur-
day night and spoke at the Baptist
Church on Sunday morning,
where he stirred things as is his
won't and style. He will speak
in State Street Church on Monday
night and will doubtless have a
big audience.
Hon, J, l.. Thomas is approach
ing the city with his Prohibition
batteries, and will open out in the
evening on Friday.
And so the battle RACES and will
continue to rage till every saloon
surrenders or is annihilated. Only
let the Amendment be submitted
and let the PEOPLE have direct
charge at the ballot box, and the
great battle of the war will be over.
Of course the war must 60 on while
there is a lurking whisky
bushwhacker in the brush, but
with the open saloon closed the
final victory is assured, and the
Home will be safe.
